“4 Millend is a lovely cottage in a great location and I would stay there again without hesitation if holidaying in the area, and I am more picky and demanding than most.”

It has a great view over fields and hills to the rear which the raised decking area really takes advantage of. It also has a cloakroom on the ground floor which I do not think was mentioned in the details, which was a bonus. Is is very peaceful and the infrequent passing car was barely noticeable. There is also an amazing country pub called The Ostrich in a nearby village which is easily walkable from the cottage, again this was unexpected and a bonus.

“Thank you so much - we had a fabulous time; it is such a beautiful home in such an amazing location.”

The hot tub was such a bonus.

“We have had a wonderful time and we don't want to leave.”

The house is amazing, fabulous views and great location for exploring The Forest of Dean. We hope to be back soon. Thank you Mark & Alison for being so hospitable.

“We arrived to the warmest welcome from owner (who was on hand to help if needed but never intrusive) along with flowers, wine and nibbles left for us.”

We were family coming together to celebrate a 50th birthday. The cottage accommodated us perfectly (5 adults and 2 children) with plenty of space/privacy for everyone. The property is well equipped and very comfortable (a home from home) with the addition of a hot tub which is like 'the icing on the cake'. The location is peaceful, relaxing and is perfectly situated to visit the Forest of Dean area including the beautiful River Wye. There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas for all ages, but equally the cottage is all that it needs to be, to escape to the countryside for some rest and relaxation.

“Your house is amazing and so is the surrounding countryside!”

We've had a fantastic time here and don't want to leave! Thank you so much for your hospitality - will definitely recommend! \
P.S. Tip for walkers at Symonds Yat - follow the arrows as our walk turned from 1,5 mile to 9 miles! Fun all the same!

“From the moment we arrived to the moment we left it was like home from home!”

Everything we could possibly want or need was there. The bottle of wine and flowers on arrival were a welcome sight. We had two families staying on the house and there was ample room for everyone. Everywhere we visited was only a short drive away which was perfect. Would definitely recommend for people looking for a relaxing break away.

The Fyson family

“Thanks for the fantastic accommodation; like everyone else, we particularly enjoyed the hot tub (first time for the 4 year old & grandparents!”

!). Cycling was great - we recommend Perrygrove Railway and Dean Heritage Centre for younger kids. Wish we could stay on....

“First time we've stayed in a holiday cottage rather than cabin in the Forest area and there's no going back.”

Lovely and very spacious accommodation all finished to a high specification and totally clean. It's entirely as good as the pictures suggest.

The Newton and Pugh families

“What a gem!”

Little Millend lived up to its description. Beautiful area and ideally located with stunning views. Attractions varied and plentiful. Everybody very friendly and helpful. Must re-visit when the sun is shining!

“We've had a lovely time in this beautiful cottage.”

It's a great setting and we really appreciated all the little extras - wine in the fridge, flowers etc.

Mr & Mrs Winder

“A fantastic cottage in lovely countryside.”

Thanks for the warm welcome and the service throughout the week. We have all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

Mr & Mrs Rees

“Lovely, well-equipped cottage, comfortable and spacious.”

Thank you for all the little extras, fresh fruit, flowers and a nice cold bottle of wine. We will miss the lovely views and the peace and tranquility.

Mr & Mrs Garnsey

“Great house, cosy fire, perfect for biking and walking to The Ostrich over the field.”

Mr & Mrs Mountain

“Beautiful, well equipped cottage with everything you could possibly want and more in the shape of the hot tub.”

“Many thanks for the warm welcome, and the thoughtful touches like flowers and a nice bottle of wine!”

We enjoyed exploring the countryside, but also relaxing in the autumn sunshine. Thanks also for allowing us to harvest some of your lovely pears! We'll enjoy them when we're back in Holland!

Miss L Simpson

“I had such a wonderful time at "Little Millend"; the woodland walks were lovely and the 'Go Ape' was so much fun.”

I really don't want to leave!

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We have just got back from a perfect break at Little Millend.”

The cottage was perfect, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The layout of the cottage is truly unique, allowing two families their own space as its set on three levels, with the lounge diner, on the middle level. We had fantastic walks in the Forest of Dean, which is close by. And the hot tub was perfect to ease aching limbs at the end of the day. Lots to do and see in the area, but we ran out of time, would definitely love to come back!!

“We stayed here for a week over Christmas.”

Two families combined with children and we had the best time. I can't say a bad word about this place. You are in the beautiful countryside with amazing views, a stunning property, big family dining table, log fire, hot tub and nice garden for the children to play. The owners are lovely (they live across the road) and make such an effort to ensure you are made welcome. The welcome pack of wine, fizz, biscuits, crisps, fresh flowers was much appreciated. As well as the extra touches we didn't expect but made all the difference like shower gels in room, tea, coffee, milk to get you started, dishwasher, clothes washing tablets and more. The house was also decorated nicely for Christmas with tree and a few decorations, simple but perfect! The area is great for walks, country pubs and some great tourist activities- we enjoyed Clearwell caves, Perrymount railway. Puzzlewood looked fantastic too but we missed that as it closes on Xmas eve until Feb. I highly recommend this place, we had the best Christmas and will be sure to visit again.

“Wonderful comfy cottage, roomy and clean and perfect for two families.”

The added luxuries of the hot tub and log burner were a bonus after a day exploring. The location is fantastic, just outside Coleford (shops) and within walking distance of Clearwell (lots of lovely pubs, and the old iron mines) and Puzzle Wood, another beautiful attraction, as well as a short drive from Cannop Ponds and the visitor centre. Highly recommended.

The Davison family

“Our second visit and we've enjoyed every minute.”

Weather fantastic! Look forward to coming back next year. Many thanks for the extras.

The Nicholls family

“Absolutely stunning cottage and views.”

Thanks for the wine and Easter egg - wonderful touch! We highly recommend Puzzlewood - my 6 year old loved it! Will come again one day.

The Baker family

“Lovely cottage; we had a lovely time in Puzzle Wood, followed by some pond dipping and a wonderful bathe in the hot tub.”

After a good night's sleep we visited Clearwell Castle Caves, followed by another hot tub! Cosy fire and beds!

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“Absolutely incredible time and a perfect getaway!”

Stayed there with a group of friends (3 couples, 1 baby and dog) and it was perfect for us. We were made to feel comfortable straight away by the owner who greeted us when we got there and left treats for us and the dog. It was lovely and warm throughout and the hot tub was a great feature in the evenings especially. Lots of walks and cycle tracks etc around too. Will definitely be booking again soon!

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We spent two weeks in this cottage using it as a base for walking in the Wye Valley, Brecon Beacons and the Forest of Dean.”

Everything was exactly as it looks in the pictures with one fantastic addition.......it also had a new hot tub to ease our aching muscles in the evening sunshine! The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything you'd want for your holiday. The outdoor spaces were fabulous and perfect for evening barbecues. And the surrounding area is beautiful. We'd definitely recommend it if you want a holiday in the Forest of Dean.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“Our family stayed in this lovely property for a week.”

It was a great base from which to explore the Forest of Dean - visits to Clearwell Caves, Puzzlewood (the kids were so excited to recognise it from the Star Wars Force Awakens movie), the International Center for Birds of Prey and the forest trails at Beechenhurst are a must! The hot tub was a much appreciated treat after long walks. The owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time there.

The Colliers

“What a great find!”

Fantastic weekend spent with all the family celebrating a 10th and 40th wedding anniversaries - thank you for making us feel so welcome with personal touches - bottles of Cava and even biscuits for the dogs! You have thought of everything and we have all enjoyed our stay here, bringing back some very fond memories of family holidays in the area over the last 40 years. Thank you so much. We will definitely recommend to everyone.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We stayed for a weekend in November and most importantly the cottage was warm, comfortable and very well equipped.”

Plenty of parking for our three vehicles. The hot tub was enjoyed by us all especially those who had spent the day mountain biking in the forest - it eased the soreness after a nasty fall! Very well located for activities in the Forest of Dean and not too far from the lovely town on Monmouth. Didn't see the owners but the flowers and wine were very welcome.

“We stayed at Little Millend for the October half term and had a fabulous stay.”

The house was everything we could have asked for, comfortable, clean and cosy - a real home from home. We stayed with out 2 young teens and a dog and we found there was plenty of space. The hot tub was amazing! The Forest of Dean is absolutely lovely, there was so much to see and do. In fact a week wasn't enough. What are you waiting for?!!

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We had the most wonderful stay in this fabulous cottage.”

Nothing was too much trouble for Mark and Alison. The hot tub was so relaxing and set in a peaceful location. We will be back to see you again.

“An excellent cottage which was very comfortable.”

We arrived late and it was nice to find a bottle of milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge as well as some nice crisps and biscuits some tea and coffee. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. The views from the back of the property are of open countryside and we saw deer in the distance. The property is spacious and very well appointed.
